The PlayStation 5 community over on lemmy.ml/c/ps5 is moving to lemmy.world/c/ps5
Join us and subscribe: !ps5@lemmy.world
Why is this being posted in Nintendo?
- For those of you that don’t know, I’m the original creator of the PS5 community that is now migrating. @slimerancher@lemmy.world is your beloved lead mod and creator of the Nintendo Communtiy. Through the joys of the Fediverse, he and I clicked and decided to co-mod both PS5 and Nintendo together. Since I am migrating my community to a new location, I talked this over with @slimerancher@lemmy.world and he has graciously allowed me to pin this post here to help me with the transition.
- So those of you with a PS5 (in addition to your Nintendo Consoles) can come join us at our new location. Just click new link and subscribe!
Why is lemmy.ml/c/ps5 moving to lemmy.world/c/ps5? And what will become of the old community?
- This is all covered in my explaination thread over on the old PS5 community, which you can find here:
If you have any questions, I am happy to answer them!

I’m not subscribed to any communities. I’m seeing all these notices on c/all. This is like the 5th c/ps5 migration notice I’ve seen in the past two days. That’s why I suggested to just start posting new threads in !ps5@lemmy.world and be done with it. Lemmy is still really small, so basically every thread has the potential to succeed in c/all, even for new communities that are still starting out. So !ps5@lemmy.world will grow very easily without having to have this big hoopla about migrations and whatnot.
But I’m afraid to say I don’t think your idea is going to fly long term. While lemmy.ml advertises itself as a FOSS focused instance, if you browse local top day for it, you can see that in actuality it’s a lot of memes and other more casual posts. And you’re squatting on the ps5 name for lemmy.ml now, which could cause issues down the road.
You should either keep both communities active and be the mod of both, or seek out mods to replace you at !ps5@lemmy.ml.
It really depends on what instance you are on. Your all is different from mine. Only one of my posts made it to my all. So I’m sorry you are getting a lot of spam on this. I appreciate the feedback. Yesterday I cross posted the announcement a lot, and today I just posted it on the other community I mod (Nintendo) and once more on the community itself. After this weekend I’ll be less vocal about it.
If they decide to take it back, then that’s their decision. We will see what happens. For now, it isnt locked, so people can post there if they want, and I’m still the mod. So I’m not squatting, and I will be posting discussion threads there as well. I am just telling users that I will be posting to the new location, and since I post 99% of all content currently, I highly advise that people subscribe to the new location for the best experience.
Well, this is off topic, but c/all for all the popular instances are like 99% the same, save for the occasional obscure community in one of the instances that nobody else is subscribed to. You can confirm that yourself by opening up lemmy.world and sopuli.xyz in private tabs and selecting all with the same sort in both. But I should’ve also mentioned that I sort by the “top” sorts when I browse all. If you browse with hot or active, then it is a significantly different experience from the top sorts.
But alright, I won’t pester you anymore. I apologize if I sounded angry too. I’ve been having issues with that recently that I’m trying to be more conscious of. I shouldn’t have even made my original comment in here, now that I’m thinking of it. That was kind of poor forum etiquette. It’s easy enough to just ignore the migration notices. So sorry about that haha. I wish you the best of luck with your communities, though.
